St. Joe Times - February 2012

Despite recent numbers
that show Allen County

home sales were down
slightly in 2011, St. Joe
Township saw the second-
highest total of home sales
overall.
Based on numbers
released by the Upstate
Alliance of Realtors, Allen
County accounted for 68
percent of total home
sales in the region. In
2011, the number of
closed home sales in Allen
County totaled 3,986 out
of a total 5,889 for the
entire region, which
includes Adams, Allen,
DeKalb, Huntington,
Noble, Wells and Whitley
counties.
St. Joe Township saw
886 home sales close in
2011, down slightly by 0.8
percent from 2010.
However, the areas
December 2011 sales
were up 33 percent
compared to the same
month one year prior. St.
Joe came in just behind
Wayne and Pleasant town-
ships (1,017) and before
Aboite and Lafayette
townships (625) in closed
home sales last year.
Alan Moore, principal
broker and owner of River
City Realty in Fort
Wayne, attributes the large
number of home sales in
Wayne Township to popu-
lation and affordable
pricing, and predicts the
area will again see the
highest number of sales in
2012.
Based on a pure
number of transactions,
Wayne Township will lead
again, but I think this will
be a year of solid upswing
for the whole county,
Moore said. The inven-
tory is ticking down a bit
with sales slightly up, so
we are starting to see
more quality listings
throughout the county.
You always have great
homes in town, especially
West Central and South-
wood Park, but the
southwest and northwest
areas never seem to stall
and will account for a
large percentage of sales.
Overall, new home
prices have remained
stable: the average value
of new homes permitted in
Allen County in 2011 was
$185,746, compared with
$184,801 in 2010 and
$178,745 in 2009.
In St. Joe Township, the
median sales price
dropped 3.4 percent from
$99,900 to $96,500. In

Berkshires backing has allowed MedPro to plan for future growth
Medical Protective Co.s white-bricked,
115,000-square-foot headquarters and
sprawling 40-acre campus along Reed Road
in Fort Wayne exude a kind of nobility that
suggests corporate success.
The impression is not without merit.
Despite a rapidly changing landscape in
the delivery of health care and persistent
efforts at the state and federal levels to enact
tort reforms that include damage caps, the
112-year-old national medical malpractice
insurer is very quietly expanding its financial
and geographical footprint.
MedPro, said President and CEO
Timothy Kenesey said, has been and
always will be the nations leading protector
of the assets and reputations of doctors.
And while MedPro doesnt have all the
answers as to how health care delivery will
ultimately evolve, we have developed the
additional capabilities necessary to be the
leading protector of the assets and reputa-
tions of all health care providers along the
continuum of care.
Numbers tell the story. In 2000, MedPro
had 60,000 policyholders, $267 million in
premiums, $800 million available for invest-
ment and $1.7 billion in assets. At the close
of 2011, it had more than 100,000 policy-
holders, $820 million in premiums, $3.4
billion available for investment, and $5
billion in assets.
It is arguably the largest medical liability
insurer in the U.S. and certainly the
oldest.

It was New Years Eve, Dec. 31, 1998. Deanna Linn
and Mike Hathaway stood inside the Denver International
Airport looking at each other face-to-face for the first
time in 30 years she with a heart full of hope and he
with an apology he hoped she would accept. So very
much had happened during their years apart.
Their story begins where they both grew up: Celina,
Ohio. Then, she was Deanna Linn, an athletic girl who
lived at the lake with a tight-knit family that included a
brother and sister. Mike lived with his parents and two
younger brothers and was a year ahead of Deanna in
school.
After graduation, both Mike and Deanna started jobs in
their hometown. He was a gas station attendant and she
started a career in insurance at Celina Insurance Group.
Shed pull into that gas station with her girlfriends and
she was a cute little thing, Mike said. She looked pretty
attractive to me. When I was told by other friends that
shed like to go out on a date, boy I jumped at that.
The two dated steadily for a year. They ran around
town with their close friends, Bruce and Janet, a couple
who would become an important part of their love story.
They remembered it as a wonderful, exciting time in their
lives.
Then, like so many others were during that time, Bruce
and Mike were drafted into the Army and sent to training
camp in Fort Gordon, Ga.
Eventually, Mike was shipped overseas to Camp Evans,
a large base camp in South Vietnam. Mike was part of the
1st Signal Brigade of the 63rd Signal Battalion, which
provided signal and communications for the 101st
Airborne in and around the base camp area. It was an
experience that would change Mike forever.
Meanwhile, Deanna and Janet carried on with their
lives in Celina.
Janet and I had each other. I cant say I was ever
tempted to date anybody. I guess I didnt even think that
there was another option, Deanna remembered. I was in
love with this man and I was going to wait for him. The
hard part was not knowing if he was going to come
back.
Deannas voice cracked as she recanted the memory. I
didnt realize what he was going through over there. We
grew up in little small-town America, so you dont realize
what war is all about and living in those conditions. But,
he always made his letters positive.
When he did return a year later, Deanna could tell
something was just different.
It wasnt until after he was home for about a month I
could tell something was different. Not with our relation-
ship, but something with him, she said.
When I came back in 1970, everybody expected a
marriage and we were considering a marriage, but I
didnt know what I was ready for. I was very confused,
Mike said. That experience overseas was pretty trau-
matic for me as well as many others. So, I didnt know
what I really wanted and I walked away from her. I
walked away from my lady.
Mike said he drifted for a long time, not knowing what
he wanted. He later started college, where he met and
married another woman. They were married for many
years and raised two children together Aaron and
Andy.
It was one of the reasons Deanna chose to leave Celina
and move to Denver, Co. where she lived for 20 years. It
was hard to see him around town all the time, and he was
married and I thought he was happy, Deanna said. She
dated through the years, and even had a long-term rela-
tionship with a man, but it never felt quite right. I never
found the right person, I guess. I had to wait for him.
After Mikes marriage ended in 1990, he returned
home to Celina to visit family - he had moved away for
work years earlier. It must have been a twist of fate that
walked him right into Deanna, who had decided to visit
that very same weekend. He was visibly shaken at the
sight of her and that chance encounter kept her in the
back of his mind.

Ivy Tech Community
College-Northeast has a
new home for its auto
body repair classes that
will more than double the
programs training
capacity.
The Ivy Tech Founda-
tion has purchased a
10,000-square-foot
industrial building at 7717
Opportunity Drive in Fort
Wayne that it will lease
back to the college for use
as an auto body repair and
refinishing center.
Ivy Tech had been
conducting the classes in
space it leased at
Glenbrook Hyundai since
it began the program
about nine years ago, but
that became inadequate to
handle the growing
programs needs, said
John Walter, dean of the
School of Technology.
The collision repair
program, offered as a
specialty within the auto
technology program, had
about 150 students. The
new building will allow
Ivy Tech to handle an
additional 255, said Bob
Huffman, automotive
technology program
chairman.
The new building will
be put into use in May for
summer students, and be
fully functional in time for
fall classes.
It is no coincidence the
university chose a
building close to its new
aviation technology
facility at Smith Field,
Walter said.
Both buildings will have
classrooms the other
program may use if
needed, and the aviation
students also will have
access to the paint booth
in the auto body repair
building.
The aviation building is
due to be completed this
summer.

Coliseum sees rise
in events, attendance in 2011
More events took place at the Allen
County War Memorial Coliseum last year,
and the total number of people attending
events at the facility also increased.
Executive Vice President and General
Manager Randy Brown said in a regular
board meeting that the coliseums total
attendance rose 2 percent to 1.1 million
visitors.
A report on Browns presentation said
2011 was the 21st consecutive year for
attendance to exceed 1 million.
The number of events held at the coli-
seum grew 8 percent to about 1,400, and
those events were estimated to have
pumped nearly $100 million into the local
economy.
Income at the coliseum exceeded
expenses by $65,000.
Many arenas throughout the county
lost money, and I am proud to report that
we did well despite a difficult economy
and we are self-supporting, Brown said
in a statement.
For 2012, the outlook is great and the
number of bookings is trending up.
The Coliseums total attendance rose 2 percent to 1.1 million visitors, last year.

When Deanna later
ended her long-term rela-
tionship, word got back to
friends in Celina. Bruce
and Janet, who had long
been married by that time,
slipped Mike his first
loves telephone number
and address.
I didnt quite have the
courage to call her so I
thought I would write her
a letter, Mike said. And it
didnt take long to hear
back. Her letter was
filled with words of love
and kindness, even after
all we had been through.
We still had love for each
other after 30 years of
being apart.
I just knew that maybe
later in life he would find
out he made a mistake and
I guess he had, and thats
when I got the letter and
he told me so, Deanna
said.
That was in October
1998. In the weeks that
followed, the two spoke
on the phone almost every
night, learning about each
other and sharing the
events that had taken
place during their years
apart. Then came New
Years Eve.
When we met at the
airport (in Denver) the
very first time and he told
me he came to apologize
to me, that really touched
my heart, Deanna said.
That was probably 30
years too late if that
just would have happened
a long time ago.
That was very
emotional, I think for both
of us at that time, Mike
said.
Deanna recalled what it
was like to be in each
others presence, a mix of
excitement, nerves and
strangely a level of
comfort that they werent
expecting.
I just knew that I loved
him still. I just felt it. I
can remember walking
away and telling him I
was going to get the car,
Deanna said, When I
turned around and looked
back at him, he was just
standing there staring at
me and smiling.
When we were in the
car, he said Do you know
you put your hand on my
leg just like you used to?
We each were remem-
bering little things that
were important to us when
we were dating. I just
knew it was going to be
more than friendship. I
just knew.
It took just 10 months
from the time Mike wrote
that letter for the two to
say their vows in the
Celina First Church of
God the very same
church they were to be
married three decades
earlier.
It was emotional. We
had so many old friends
that came to the wedding.
It was just a very, very
special day. It went too
fast, Deanna said.
Today, Deanna and
Mike live in Fort Wayne
with their two cats. Their
only complaint these days
is theyd like to see their
kids more often, along
with a grandson, Colton,
who has brought much joy
to their lives.
And to those who may
have thought about the
one that got away, they
have a message:
If youre thinking
about somebody from
long ago, we would have
to tell them to pursue it,
Deanna said. If we
wouldnt have pursued
this we wouldnt have
found the happiest time in
our lives. I couldnt
imagine life without
him.

2011, sellers in the area
received 95.4 percent of
their original list price at
closing.
While 2012 will likely
be a favorable year for
buyers, there is some
positive news for sellers,
Moore said.
The market is
definitely still on the
buyers side, but sellers
are holding their ground.
Based on statistics from
Upstar, the percentage of
original list price for
homes sold in 2011 was
94 percent pretty static
from 94.2 percent in
2010, he said.
Still, many who would
like to sell an existing
home this year could keep
with a nationwide trend of
holding off and listing
homes for rent rather than
fight the current market.
Quite a few
homeowners who bought
before the market
retracted either cannot or
do not want to sell their
home in the current
market, Moore said.
Renting that property can
be a viable option for
many. River City Realty
has had an increase in
requests for property
management services and
inquiries, and we expect
that to continue this year.
Home building activity
in and around Allen
County continued at about
the same pace in 2011 as
in both 2009 and 2010.
An analysis by the Home
Builders Association of
Fort Wayne found its
members accounted for a
total of 872 new home
permits last year,
compared with 916 in
2010 and 894 in 2009.
The year just ended
included 680 permits in
Allen County.
As has been the norm,
Perry and Aboite
townships were the
busiest in Allen County
for new home builders in
2011. The numbers were
down from 2010, and
Perry is seeing a shortage
of lots available as
Huntertown works
through plans to expand
its sewer capacity by
building its own treatment
plant.
St. Joe and Washington
townships also accounted
for a big chunk of permit
activity in both years.
According to Tony
Reincke of Granite Ridge
Builders by Tony Reincke,
developers have held back
on creating new
subdivisions in Allen
County in the past few
years, and new shortages
may develop as those lots
are taken.
Move-up buyers have
become more realistic
about the prices they can
get for their existing
homes, Reincke added. In
particular, he is seeing
increased interest from
baby boomers who want
to move into one-level
ranch homes and villas
that will be easier to
handle as they age, and
also from young people
ready to buy a home as
they start or expand their
families.
Based simply on the
numbers, there is a fair
chance this year those
baby boomers and young
people will purchase from
a selection of existing
rather than new homes.
Existing home sales
greatly outnumber new
home sales. There is such
a great inventory of
existing homes and with
the current economic
times, there are fewer
builders and developers,
Moore said. He added that
according to the Upstar
multiple listing service, in
2011 there were 4,025
existing home sales,
compared to just 224 new
home sales. Granted,
many of the new homes
sold dont make it to the
MLS, Moore said.
But the county
continues to offer a varied
market fit for anyone,
Moore said, from Victo-
rian homes built at the
turn of the century to
sprawling, contemporary
suburban ranches.
It is truly a diverse
area. That will always
make this an attractive
place to live. State and
county home sales were
both slightly up over 2010
and that is promising.
Overall, we see good
things coming for 2012.

March
Antiques appraiser and comedian to stop at show

Certified fine art and antiques appraiser Dr.
Lori Verderane will appear March 1-3 at the
Fort Wayne Home & Garden Show. In addition
to being an appraiser, Verderane is also a part-
time standup comedian. She
has been seen on Lifetime
Television, Comedy
Centrals The Daily Show
with Jon Stewart and
NBCs The Tonight Show.
She presents more than 100
events each year and also
conducts in-home appraisal
visits.
Free antique appraisals will
be available as part of Dr.
Loris shows each day, a press
statement said. Arrive early,
since appraisals are limited.
Verderane holds a Ph.D. in art
history and she also has columns in
more than 85 publications about
antiques, travel and home and garden
design. The writer of 30 books, she
evaluates approximately 20,000 items
per year.
In addition to bringing the antique items
to the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum
for evaluation, attendees of the show can also
bring photos of antiques to be appraised, as
part of the antiques appraisal comedy show.
In a press statement, Verderane said her
appraisals are honest.
Youll laugh out loud while learning about
your antiques, your friends and even your
spouse at my event! Im not an antique dealer
or affiliated with any auction house and my
evaluations are straightforward and honest.
I will not hesitate to tell you, your friend
or your spouse that their stuff is junk.
She said she will break some
hearts and make some million-
aires.
Verderanes antique
appraisal shows will also
discuss myths of the
business.
Everyone is invited
to attend, she wrote in
the press statement,
with or without an
antique, and Ill even
tell you how some
appraisers are not telling
you the truth and how they fail to
meet professional museum standards.
Do you have a treasure at home?
"Free antique appraisals will be available
as part of Dr. Lori's shows each day.
Show Times:
Thursday &
Friday
1:30 and 5pm
Saturday
1 and 4pm.

Organization made simple!
Brian Santos, also
called The Wall Wizard
has presented informative,
entertaining workshops
more than 5,000 times to
audiences at home shows
across the country. He has
also shared his painting
expertise on HGTVs
Smart Solutions, ABCs
Good Morning America,
and NBCs Today Show,
as well as The Learning
Channel and Discovery
Channel. Santos will teach
three workshops at the
Home & Garden Show.
His first session
titled Wall Magic! will
allow participants to expe-
rience and learn the real
tips, tricks and techniques
of home improvement. As
a bestselling author,
Santos has plenty of
information to offer atten-
dees.
In this course, Santos,
who is a 25-year interior
contractor veteran,
chemist and educator, will
walk participants through
the real science, magic
and myths of home
decorating.
As The Wall Wizard,
Santos will teach listeners
how to look through
wizard eyes with confi-
dence and use the most
inexpensive and practical
decorating medium, which
is paint. Santos will then
show attendees how to use
everyday household
products such as Pam
cooking spray, plastic
cling wrap and magnets to
speed up the painting
process by 400 percent.
In his second show,
Santos will detail faux
finish secrets and show
attendees how basic tech-
niques such as dragging,
flogging and whacking
can create realistic and
dramatic effects like
stone, leather and wood,
in a few simple steps. This
course will be a live,
audience participation
show that focuses on the
practical hands-on
application of the three
hottest faux finishing
effects used in home
design and decorating
today.
Santos will present
many of the same
application techniques that
Hollywood set decorators
have used for generations
to create clever visual
effects and realistic illu-
sions from favorite movies
and television programs.
The third program,
directed by Santos is
Wallcovering Secrets,
which gives participants
complete home
improvement education.
In this interactive session,
Santos will demystify the
most common myths,
mistakes and misconcep-
tions that people often
have about wallcoverings.
Revealing time-tested
tricks, The Wall Wizard
will help homeowners
solve any home decorating
dilemmas.

The Fort Wayne
Indiana Tech President

Arthur Snyder said the
school considered 10
locations, which were
eventually narrowed down
to three possible sites. The
new law school will sit
next to Indiana Techs
Warrior Athletic Center, at
the corner of Maumee
Avenue and Comparet
Street.
Having the law school
on the campus will
provide many more
opportunities for the law
school community to
interact with the rest of
campus and vice versa,
Peter Alexander, founding
dean of the law school,
said in a statement. The
location also is close to
downtown, which will
allow us to foster close
working relationships
beween law school faculty
and students and the local
bench and bar.
The law school was
designed by
SchenkelShultz Architec-
ture in Fort Wayne and
SHW Group. The general
contractor is Michael
Kinder and Sons.
The new facility will
contain a courtroom, a
law library, classrooms,
faculty offices and a cafe.
Indiana Tech officials said
the buildings design will
complement the law
schools emphasis on
experiential learning. In
its first year, the law
school will accept 100
students.
To further students
practical education, the
law school will offer a
mediation clinic, in which
law school students will
work to resolve disputes
among undergraduates,
and an estate planning
clinic, in which law
school students will draft
simple wills and powers
of attorney for Indiana
Tech employees.
These activities will
give our law students vital
practical opportunities to
apply what they learn
while building relation-
ships with others in the
university, Alexander
said.

Allen County Education
Partnership $7,500 to
support the agencys two
literacy programs - Project
READS and Parent

Enrichment workshops
provide skills and insights
to parents of pre-K
through second-grade

teachers and principals
present a parent-friendly
approach to supporting
what those parents
students learn in school,
according to a release.
Allen County Education
Partnership is a nonprofit
agency that tries to
strengthen education by
promoting excellence in
teaching, training, and
leadership. The agencys
primary programs provide
support for pre-K through

ment.

Writing down goals can help
with planning, success
A new year, a new you.
By now, you are either
well on your way to
reaching your weight loss
goal or, gulp, you have
fallen off the bandwagon
like the great majority of
Americans. For those of
you who have made it this
far and have not given up,
bravo. For those of you
who have taken a terrible
tumble, let us re-evaluate
something your
original goal.
A very common
mistake is to state your
goal as an outcome goal.
For example, lose 30
pounds or fit into my
old jeans. The problem
with this is that there is no
plan of action and it is
that lack of a plan that
sets you up for failure.
You have no idea where
to begin, so you go
gung-ho for the first week
or two, before giving up,
because you are too
banged up to continue
working out or you have
deprived yourself from all
things tasty.
To correct this, make
process goals. For
example, workout 2 days
per week or have 3
servings of vegetables
daily. This gives you a
plan. You now know
where to start.
Another common
mistake is to be too
vague. For example,
workout more or eat
better. The problem with
this is that there is no way
of knowing whether or not
you actually achieved
your goal. The words
more and better need
to be defined before you
can say with certainty
whether or not you did
these things. Workout
more is a start. Workout
2 days per week is better.
But workout Tuesdays
and Thursdays, after
work is best. Stated in
this way, the guesswork is
removed and you know
exactly how you will start
to workout more.
Instead of eat better, you
could say include a piece
of fruit at every
breakfast. You either did
it or did not.
Finally, do yourself a
favor and start small.
After you set a goal, ask
yourself one question:
On a scale of one-10,
how certain am I that I
can meet this goal? If
you answer with anything
less than a nine, make it
easier! If your goal is to
eat one serving of vegeta-
bles at lunch and dinner
but you rate your certainty
an eight, simplify it. Drop
it down to just one serving
of vegetables at dinner.
Get the goal snowball
rolling. Conquering the
first goal paves the path
for your next to be
successful.
Now get to writing!
Whatever your goal is,
write it down and review
it every day. Stick it on
your mirror, the fridge, or
the dashboard of your car.
Never let yourself lose
sight of where you are
headed.

A portion of the companys financial growth will result
from the acquisition of New Jersey-based Princeton Insur-
ance Co. MedPro, which has about 275 employees in Fort
Wayne, will see its overall national employment rise by more
than 100 to about 550 with the Princeton purchase, and its
premiums will grow by $100 million.
But the acquisition in fact much of MedPros recent
growth might not have been possible had it not been for
Berkshire Hathaway Inc.s $825-million purchase of MedPro
in 2005 from General Electric Co. Berkshire Chairman
Warren Buffets immense and prosperous holding company
Class A stock trades at well above $100,000 a share
has boosted MedPros financial ratings and ability to expand.
Among MedPros new customers are nurse practitioners,
physician assistants, optometrists, podiatrists, chiropractors,
surgery centers, cancer treatment centers, dialysis centers,
medical labs and hospitals.
As the baby boomer population ages and health care
reform presents the likelihood of giving more people access
to health care, Kenesey said, the strain on the health care
system will continue to grow and bring a wider swath of
risk-management needs.
MedPro, he said, is well-suited to deal with these
changes and uncertainties under pretty much any scenario
that gets thrown at us. We dont think the market for allied
health (insurance) is massive, but its just an example of how
were adapting to meeting the needs. Its a very complex and
evolving thing.
Under any circumstance, though, he said people should not
look to medical liability as a silver bullet for cutting health
care costs. What will make a more significant difference is
promoting consumerism, in which people manage their own
health care services, and wellness programs. MedPro, he
said, has addressed both internally, including expanding its
fitness center, putting in a walking trail around the
companys campus and offering rebates for health screen-
ings.
Kenesey, a one-time lawyer, wants people to know that
MedPro is a great place to work and that even in a chal-
lenging economy, the company is hiring.
MedPro is a low-key kind of best-kept secret in Fort
Wayne, and we dont intend to raise our profile in the
community significantly, he said. We plan to continue
taking care of our health care providers and being good
but quiet corporate citizens the way we always have.
MEDPRO
from page A1
declared American Heart
Month, is designed to
help spread the word
about preventing heart
disease.
For Lori Snyder, it is
an important month and
an important issue. She
lost her father four years
ago, to a massive heart
attack and decided to turn
her grief into her lifes
passion by getting
healthy and helping
others get healthy.
My dads passing was
really unexpected, she
said. I was so deep in
grief, I wondered if I
would ever feel happiness
again.
As a current health and
fitness consultant, Snyder
now helps others steer
away from heart disease.
I decided to really
concentrate on health and
nutrition and heart
health, she said. I
decided to be conscien-
tious about my eating and
continue with my fitness
programs.
Her interest was piqued
even further when she
saw fitness infomercials,
such as the popular P90X
program. P90X is a home
exercise system that was
designed by fitness
celebrity trainer, Tony
Horton and Beachbody,
an in-home fitness and
weight loss solutions
company.
I began a diligent
fitness and nutritional
program like never
before. Since losing my
dad, I had a new focus
and a new purpose for
maintaining my heart
health as never before,
she said.
Snyder said that after
she intensified her
physical fitness and
habits, other people she
was around started asking
what she was doing.
I began a personal
quest to take care of
myself, she said, which
then kind of snowballed
and my husband started
taking notice and
changing. Others took
note as well, even the
people who worked in her
office.
She then teamed up
with the Beachbody
Challenge, which offers
coaching and support.
Snyder is an Independent
Team Beachbody Coach.
I connect people with
fitness and nutrition. We
work with people through
Facebook, Snyder said.
The program has closed
Facebook groups that are
used for accountability,
fact-sharing and
information about what
works for fitness goals.
We match people with
the correct fitness
program, she said.
I am able to help
others reach personal
fitness and nutritional
goals, while simultane-
ously helping them
strengthen their hearts.
Participants take before
photographs, work on
their fitness and weight
loss goals for 90 days and
then take after pictures.
They have the possibility
of winning cash prizes. A
new challenge group
starts the first Monday of
every month, she said.
While there are many
factors to heart disease
and prevention, Snyder
said she thinks about
helping people keep their
hearts healthy.
Of course I think
about my dad, she said.
And people in general
keeping their hearts
healthy. The best way to
do that is through fitness
and nutrition.
The American Heart
Association lists a few
tips for preventing a heart
attack. Avoiding smoking,
treating high blood pres-
sure, eating foods low in
saturated and trans fat,
being physically active
and controlling blood
sugar are just a few steps
to avoiding a coronary
attack.
Genetics also plays a
role in heart disease.
Through heredity, I
have family history on
both sides for heart
disease and cardiac
arrest. After my dad
passed, I did go get my
heart scanned at Parkview
Health, Snyder said.
There are a few major
risk factors that cant be
changed and result in a
greater chance of devel-
oping coronary artery
disease. Being male,
increasing in age and
having a family history of
heart disease are just a
few risk factors that
cannot be changed.
However, it is just as
important to focus on the
risk factors that can be
changed.
For Snyder, focusing
on the factors that she
could change like
nutrition and fitness
led her down a path that
has changed her outlook.
Because I felt such an
improvement in my
body, she said, I
became interested in
becoming a [fitness]
instructor.
She is certified to teach
TurboKick classes, which
is a combination of
intense cardio kickboxing
and dance. She also helps
others create healthy
lifestyles through her
business, Lori Snyder
Fitness.
She said if people are
interested in making a
change to improve their
health, fitness and nutri-
tion, she is glad to help.
Im able to feel
happiness again, but
helping people one
heart at a time! Snyder
said.

Pilates increases
flexibility, core strength
What is Pilates?
Pilates is a form of
exercise developed by a
man named Joseph H.
Pilates. He designed a
series of exercises that
anyone could practice on
a daily basis. The
exercises were to be done
on a padded mat on the
floor. His goal was to help
people develop strong
core (abdominal) muscles
and a flexible spine.
Mr. Pilates and his wife,
Clara, operated a gym in
New York from the mid
1920s until their deaths,
respectively, in 1967 and
1977. During that time,
they worked with people
of all backgrounds and all
abilities. Businessmen,
homemakers, boxers,
performers and dancers all
worked out using the
Pilates Method. In the
early years, Mr. Pilates
worked primarily with
men. Later more women
became interested,
including ballet dancers.
Over the years, Pilates has
gained the reputation of
being for dancers. The
truth is that everyone
benefits from his exer-
cises.
Types of exercises
Pilates can benefit
people of all ages and
fitness levels. In
developing his exercise
system, Mr. Pilates
borrowed from Greek and
Roman style workouts,
calisthenics and
gymnastics. He observed
how humans and animals
moved naturally and
easily, and incorporated
these movements into
functional exercises.
The best way to
describe the Pilates exer-
cises are that they involve
stretch with strength and
control. During each
exercise, participants are
guided to coordinate their
breath with specific
movements. Exercises are
done on a padded mat;
lying down, seated, on the
side or standing. Mat
exercises are typically
taught in a group setting.
There are also specialized
pieces of equipment that
can be used to enhance
the exercises and they are
typically taught on an
individual basis.
Pilates tones and
shapes the body
Pilates can be used as
your main form of
exercise for toning and
shaping the body and
should be practiced for an
hour, 3-4 days a week.
Pilates can also be used to
supplement other fitness
routines such as weight
lifting, soccer, football,
long distance running and
walking. Once or twice a
week would be
recommended in these
situations.
Mind/body connection
Pilates is described as
mind/body exercise
because you are totally
focused on getting the
most out of each exercise.
Therefore, you have no
time to think about
anything else. This type of
concentration during
exercise is what has drawn
top athletes and
performers to the Pilates
system.
Other benefits from
practicing Pilates include
increased flexibility (hit
the golf ball further), more
efficient lung capacity
(endurance with running
and walking), core
strength, sense of balance,
body awareness and an
overall feeling of wellness
and stress relief.
It is recommended that
you try a class or schedule
a private lesson to fully
understand what Pilates is
and what it can do for
you. Watching a video or
reading a book will give
you some idea of the
exercises, but a qualified
instructor can guide you
to learn correctly.
